Brighton Resident Wins $50,000 with Instant Bingo Doubler

In Local

Kimberly, 46, said when she played her ticket, she thought she may have a winner, so she asked her husband to check it using the OLG Lottery App. “We didn’t know what to do. It felt surreal!”

Kimberly plans on using her winnings towards home renovations and saving the rest. “The pandemic has been difficult – this win has been a godsend,” she concluded.

In accordance with government-issued lockdown measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, OLG is currently limiting the number of in-person prize claim appointments at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to only those that require a face-to-face interview. Customers with prizes over $50,000 are asked to call 1-800-387-0098 to discuss available prize claim options. Prize claims up to $49,999.90 should continue to be submitted by mail. The health and safety of our customers and employees remains our top priority and OLG looks forward to providing future updates on the availability of in-person prize claims.

INSTANT BINGO DOUBLER is available for $5 a play and the top prize is $100,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.86.

The winning ticket was purchased at Becker’s on Finch Avenue in Scarborough.
